Frequently asked questions
What's the first skateboard trick I should learn?
After you're comfortable riding, pushing and turning, the ollie is the essential first trick. It's the act of popping the board into the air with your feet, and it underpins almost every other street trick — kickflips, shuvits, grinds and jumping obstacles all build on the ollie. Master it thoroughly before moving on; it's worth the time.
